<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44518599/ibm-expands-cloud-storage-to-on-premises-with-ceph-as-a-service">IBM</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>)<a href="https://newsroom.ibm.com/2025-06-02-ibm-unveils-watsonx-ai-labs-the-ultimate-accelerator-for-ai-builders,-startups-and-enterprises-in-new-york-city"> announced</a> Monday that it acquired Seek AI, a New York City-based <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/partner/emerging-markets/25/06/45767943/logicmarks-holistic-approach-leveraging-artificial-intelligence-and-saas-to-protect-agin">artificial intelligence</a> startup specializing in natural language data querying, as part of a larger push into agentic AI development.
The acquisition coincides with the launch of Watsonx AI Labs. According to IBM, Seek AI's software will become a foundational part of the lab's technological framework.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IBM Aims To Turn Manhattan Into A Global AI Nucleus</h2>
Founded in 2021 by former data scientist Sarah Nagy, Seek AI builds tools that allow users to interact with complex datasets using natural language prompts, automatically converting them into structured query language queries and generating insights,<a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/ibm-strengthens-ai-investment/"> </a><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/02/ibm-acquires-data-analysis-startup-seek-ai-opens-ai-accelerator-in-nyc/">TechCrunch</a> reports.

</ul>
IBM said in the statement that Seek AI's natural language platform will be integrated into its AI development ecosystem, enabling startups and partners to build applications with conversational data capabilities.
The newly launched Watsonx AI Labs is located in Manhattan's Flatiron District at One Madison, where IBM says it plans to build and test next-generation AI systems with engineers, researchers, and startups.
According to IBM, the lab will co-create enterprise-ready AI applications spanning cybersecurity, customer service, and open-source frameworks. The facility will also focus on domain-specific AI solutions and prioritize responsible governance, a rising concern among enterprise adopters.
New York City's growing role in AI development factored heavily into IBM's decision to base the lab there. According to<a href="https://www.technyc.org/nyc-tech-snapshot-2025"> Tech: NYC</a>, the city hosts over 2,000 AI startups and experienced a 25% increase in AI workforce growth from 2022 to 2023. Since 2019, AI startups in NYC have collectively raised $27 billion in funding.
IBM mentioned in the statement that it also plans to collaborate with local universities and research institutions to nurture future talent and expand its innovation footprint.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Relocation And Investor Backing Strengthen IBM's AI Expansion</h2>
Seek AI had previously secured nearly $10 million in backing from investors such as Battery Ventures, Conviction Partners, and NJP Ventures, according to TechCrunch.
Once the acquisition is finalized, IBM says the startup will relocate its operations to One Madison, aligning itself physically and strategically with IBM's flagship Manhattan-based Watsonx AI Labs.
&#8220;By anchoring this mission in New York City, we are investing in a diverse, world‑class talent pool and a vibrant community whose innovations have long shaped the tech landscape,&#8221; Ritika Gunnar, IBM's general manager of data and AI, said in the statement.

IBM said that it will provide select startups inside the lab with mentorship, access to technical talent, and financial support through its $500 million Enterprise AI Venture Fund. These startups will be able to test, refine, and deploy AI applications built with tools like Seek AI's natural language platform. Companies successfully building enterprise-ready solutions may be eligible for long-term partnership and global amplification via IBM Ventures.
Julie Samuels, president and CEO of Tech: NYC, said in IBM&#8217;s statement that the move underscores New York's strength as an innovation hub and a magnet for enterprise AI development. She added that the initiative could be transformative for local communities and the broader tech economy.
With Seek AI's technology now in-house and the Watsonx AI Labs underway, IBM appears committed to shaping the future of enterprise AI from the epicenter of one of the world's most dynamic cities.

Shares of medical insurance and medical provider companies are trading lower after President Trump, on June 6, told the Department of Health and Human Services to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid.

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-09/us-china-trade-talks-to-continue-tuesday-after-day-one-wraps" title="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-09/us-china-trade-talks-to-continue-tuesday-after-day-one-wraps">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-09/us-china-trade-talks-to-continue-tuesday-after-day-one-wraps</a>

'US, China Trade Talks to Continue Tuesday After Day One Wraps' - Bloomberg News

Video game retailer GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) could continue upwards momentum with a strong first-quarter financial report Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">after market close.</a>
Here's a look at the analyst estimates and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect GameStop to report first-quarter sales of $754.2 million, down from $881.8 million in last year's first quarter, according<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0609"> to Benzinga Pro data.</a>
The company has missed analyst estimates for sales in six straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect GameStop to report a profit of 4 cents per share, an improvement on a loss of 12 cents per share in last year's first quarter.
The company beat analyst estimates for earnings per share in the fourth quarter and has beaten analyst estimates in five of the last 10 quarters overall. The first quarter loss last fiscal year was the only loss in GameStop's four fiscal quarters last year.
A strong first-quarter report and positive earnings per share could be a strong start for the company.

Key Items to Watch: GameStop's report comes after several positive news items sent shares higher.
The company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45643177/gamestop-buys-4710-bitcoins-heres-why-markets-are-watching">announced the purchase</a> of 4,710 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) last month, which came after the company announced plans to add cryptocurrency to its balance sheet.
GameStop has also been in the spotlight with strong momentum due to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44984453/gamestop-stock-rises-amid-switch-2-preorders-whats-going-on">release of the Nintendo Switch 2 </a>gaming console from Nintendo (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTDOY#OTC">NTDOY</a>). GameStop stores were open at midnight for the June 5 release of the console with long lines and sellouts reported at locations across the country.
The bad news for GameStop investors is that the gaming company has typically reported financial results without providing guidance, holding a conference call, or communicating with shareholders.
Shareholders would likely love to hear an update on the Bitcoin purchase and whether more cryptocurrency purchases are coming with the company's cash. They would also love to hear how Nintendo Switch 2 demand could factor into second-quarter results, as the first quarter will cover February, March, and April.
Instead, investors may have to save their optimism for future quarterly results and focus on what the company does report.
One item that has been present in recent reports is the company's growing Collectibles revenue, which comes as the retailer ramps up supply and marketing for trading cards and grading services. This comes as hardware and software sales for the gaming market have faced pressure as gamers turn to digital offerings.
A strong report could send GameStop shares higher, extending the recent streak of positive momentum. However, if details on Bitcoin or the Nintendo Switch 2 remain limited, investors may choose to stay on the sidelines.
GME Price Action: GameStop stock was up 2.1% to $30.22 on Monday, compared to a 52-week trading range of $18.73 to $35.81. However, GameStop stock is down 2.4% year-to-date in 2025.

GameStop Q1 Earnings Preview: Bitcoin On The Balance Sheet, But Don't Expect Much Detail

Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) saw its stock price climb over 4.5% on Monday, trading at $121.70 by mid-afternoon. The surge followed a positive revision from Citigroup, which maintained its Buy rating and increased its price target for the semiconductor giant from $100 to $120 per share.
What To Know: The analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMD/analyst-ratings">price increase</a> comes just days before AMD&#8217;s highly anticipated &#8220;Advancing AI&#8221; event on Thursday. At the event, CEO Lisa Su and other industry leaders are expected to unveil AMD&#8217;s vision for the future of artificial intelligence, including updates on its end-to-end AI solutions and product ecosystem.
The full-day event will feature sessions for developers, customers and business leaders, with major sponsors including Dell, Lenovo and Oracle.

Investor optimism is also buoyed by AMD's recent strategic moves. Last week, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/m-a/25/06/45789800/amd-acquires-another-company-to-expands-ai-arsenal">announced</a> the acquisition of Brium, a team specializing in AI software and compilers, to bolster its software capabilities. The move followed the purchase of Enosemi to advance co-packaged optics innovation.
These acquisitions are part of a broader strategy to enhance AMD&#8217;s AI platform. The company recently reported strong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45237261/amd-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-driven-by-expanding-data-center-ai-momentum-chipmaker-expects-strong-growth-in-2025">first-quarter earnings</a> and provided an optimistic revenue forecast for the second quarter.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy AMD Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Advanced Micro Devices&#8217; case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, AMD has a 52-week high of $187.28 and a 52-week low of $76.48.

What To Know: Bitcoin mining stocks are getting a lift Monday morning with bitcoin up approximately 4% over the past 24 hours, trading at $108,524 at last check.
The broader crypto market and crypto-linked stocks may be seeing some continued optimism following a successful <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45830632/ex-goldman-executive-on-circles-168-ipo-spike-dont-rush-to-buy-stock-as-bankers-engineer-a-pop-cites-facebook-example">public debut</a> from stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRCL#NYSE">CRCL</a>).

The stock continued to climb on Friday, closing the day at $107.70 and was up another 17% Monday morning at the time of writing, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The bitcoin miners appear to be benefiting from positive sentiment in crypto-related stocks combined with rising crypto prices. Higher bitcoin prices increase the value of the companies&#8217; bitcoin holdings, which they provided updates on last week.
MARA Holdings said it produced 950 bitcoin in May, up 35% on a month-over-month basis, and ended the month with 49,179 in total bitcoin holdings. The company said it benefited from&nbsp;its self-owned and operated mining pool, as well as block reward luck in May.

Bitcoin was only about $3,000 below its all-time high at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. At the time of publication, MARA was up 2.50% at $16.18, Riot was up 1.68% at $10.02 and CleanSpark was up 2.45% at $10.03

CDC Advisory Committee To Review Merck's ENFLONSIA For Infant RSV Protection; Ordering Expected To Begin In July, With Shipments Delivered Before Start Of 2025-2026 RSV Season

Over 340 current and recently terminated U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) employees have publicly protested the Trump administration's deep cuts to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/national-institutes-of-health">the agency's research budget</a>.
What Happened: Reuters noted that more than 60 NIH employees signed a letter, accusing NIH leadership — including Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy — of allowing political interference to override scientific priorities.
The stakes are high, they noted, citing how patient safety is at risk and public resources are wasted.
Signatories claim in the letter that the agency has eliminated 2,100 research grants worth $9.5 billion and cut another $2.6 billion in research contracts since Trump took office in January.
The letter, also addressed to NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and members of Congress, comes ahead of Bhattacharya's scheduled testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
The letter states that the cuts have halted clinical trials and left patients without oversight for experimental treatments or implanted devices.
The employees told Reuters the terminated programs represented years of work and financial investment. They warned that the cuts were made without proper review, sometimes bypassing peer evaluations in favor of political motivations.

FDA&#8217;s Top Vaccine Official Walks Out, Sparking Debate on Safety and Public Trust</a>
Why It Matters: Bhattacharya said the letter mischaracterized NIH's recent policy directions. 
Citing internal staff reports, Reuters highlighted that the Trump administration has proposed slashing NIH's budget by $18 billion next year. This would reduce it by 40% to $27 billion. Nearly 5,000 NIH employees and contractors have already been laid off under Kennedy's restructuring of U.S. health agencies.
In February, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/02/43618745/us-states-sue-national-institutes-of-health-over-4-billion-annual-cut-in-biomedical-research-grant-budget" rel="noreferrer noopener">a complaint&nbsp;was filed</a> arguing that &#8220;Without relief from NIH&#8217;s action, these institutions&#8217; cutting-edge work to cure and treat human disease will grind to a halt.&#8221;
The lawsuit also mentioned, &#8220;In issuing the Rate Change Notice, the NIH has also acted beyond its statutory authority and has failed to promulgate the change using notice and comment rulemaking.&#8221;
In March, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) unveiled a sweeping restructuring plan to cut costs, streamline operations <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/03/44519638/us-department-of-health-and-human-services-aligns-with-trumps-executive-order-to-cut-10k-jobs-save-18-billion" rel="noreferrer noopener">and refocus priorities</a>.

Through early retirements and other initiatives, the total number of employees will shrink from 82,000 to 62,000.

NIH Revolts: Scientists Decry Budget Cuts, RFK Jr. Political Interference, Warn Of Long-Term Public Health Damage

MP Materials Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MP#NYSE">MP</a>) shares are moving higher. The U.S. is set to engage in trade talks with China in London on Monday. Rare earth materials are expected to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45841817/us-listed-chinese-stocks-gain-as-us-china-trade-talks-spark-optimism">key topic of discussion</a>.
What To Know: Morgan Stanley analyst Carlos De Alba upgraded MP Materials from Equal-Weight to Overweight and raised the price target from $23 to $34 on Friday.
The analyst said MP Materials is best positioned to benefit from growing geopolitical focus on critical mineral supply chains, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/07/morgan-stanley-upgrades-mining-stock-as-best-pick-to-play-rare-earths.html">CNBC</a>.
MP Materials operates the only rare earth mine in the U.S. at Mountain Pass, California, while China controls most of the global market for rare earth processing. De Alba noted that trade tensions have pushed mineral supply chains into focus.
In April, China imposed export restrictions on certain rare earth elements in response to tariffs introduced by President Donald Trump. While talks are ongoing, those restrictions remain in place. Notably, the U.S. depends on China for about 70% of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/45841817/us-listed-chinese-stocks-gain-as-us-china-trade-talks-spark-optimism">imports for rare earth</a> elements.
Last week, Trump eased limits under the Defense Production Act, which could allow the U.S. government to offer above-market prices for rare earths. Morgan Stanley said MP is well positioned to benefit from this policy shift.

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) has introduced a bill calling for the first comprehensive audit of the United States' gold reserves in over 70 years. Titled "The Gold Reserve Transparency Act of 2025," the bill aims to bring clarity to the leading <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/gold">global gold reserve</a>.
"Americans deserve transparency and accountability from the institutions that underpin our currency," Massie said in a <a href="https://massie.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=395725">statement</a> accompanying the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3526">bill's release</a>.
The legislation, supported by Reps. Troy Nehls (R-TX), Addison McDowell (R-NC), and Warren Davidson (R-OH) would mandate that the Comptroller General, through the Government Accountability Office, conduct a full audit, assay, and inventory of all U.S. gold holdings within one year of enactment.
It would also require a complete account of all gold-related transactions dating back 50 years, including sales, loans, leases, swaps, and encumbrances. A recurring audit would happen every five years.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">World&#8217;s Largest Gold Reserves</h3>
According to the U.S. Treasury, the United States holds the world's largest national gold reserve at roughly 8,133 metric tons, or over 261 million troy ounces. A majority of that gold—more than 147 million ounces—is held at Fort Knox, with the remainder stored in locations including the Denver Mint, West Point, and the New York Fed.
The reserves date back to the 1930s, when the U.S. government collected vast amounts of gold following the Gold Reserve Act and subsequent executive orders issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Massie discussed the bill in an X <a href="https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/1930996622311239890">post</a>, saying that it would "provide full disclosure President (Donald) Trump seeks," referring to Trump's February call to inspect Fort Knox's holdings physically. The push for gold transparency also gained traction earlier this year after Elon Musk proposed a live-streamed audit of U.S. reserves, a suggestion widely dismissed as a publicity stunt.
The renewed debate over U.S. gold reserves is gaining traction due to the growing global interest in the yellow metal. Central banks and investors have been seeking it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/05/45617358/gold-demand-holds-firm-as-dollar-confidence-wavers">hedge against geopolitical instability</a>, Trump's administration policies, and U.S. fiscal uncertainty. In 2024, central banks bought over 1,044 metric tons of gold, marking the third consecutive year of purchases over 1,000 tons.
The United States remains the world&#8217;s largest holder of gold. At a current spot price of $3,320 per ounce, U.S. reserves are valued at approximately $868 billion. Meanwhile, the spot price of the yellow metal has surged by around 26.6% year-to-date, rising from $2,623 at the start of the year and reaching a new all-time high of $3,500 per ounce on April 25.
